128th Annual Golden Dragon Parade
Somebody's grandfather marched in this. That is the thing that gets you, standing on Hill Street in the early afternoon holding a paper flag: not the lions or the drums, but the arithmetic. A hundred and twenty-eight years means a parade that predates the freeways, the studios, and most of the city it moves through. It turns off Hill at Temple, runs toward Bernard, cuts right onto Broadway and comes back down to where it started, and the crowd along that route is three generations deep in places, holding curb seats they claimed an hour early with folding chairs. The Year of the Goat gets its welcome a week after the new year proper, which is both traditional and practical, since by then everyone has already eaten. One to four in the afternoon, Saturday February 13, in Chinatown. Free. Chinatown runs on this calendar all year long and most of Los Angeles never once thinks to check it.
